RE: Flaperons Pros and Cons
Like Minnflyer, I love flaps, not flaperons. In essence this is camber changing, requiring elevator compensation. Not a real difficult mix, but better suited to a flap, aileron equipped airframe to help you get the feal of the required mix. Also a landing system, with a variable servo speed on the application can really sweeten out the deployment. Instead of flaperon "ON".
One of my most enjoyable aircraft is a simple electric conversion on a Sig LT25. Flaps, seperate aileron servo's on a 9303. 1st stage flap is about 30* flap, elevator compensation about 12%. Full 2sec to deploy. Just slows, no noticable change in caracteristic, other that landing speed. Full flap is about 60*, ele comp 13%. Full 2 sec deploy. Now steep slow drop in short roll out. A real blast.
